Save money, avoid the bore of missed deliveries and give something back to the community with a new system of ordering through a local website. Mike Martin, who lives in Ebrington is keen to support local enterprise and the environment. His business, which deals with individuals and companies of all sizes nationally, offers a range of 70,000 lines of goods from office furniture to staplers and envelopes and everything in between.

The system works like this:

You order online at http://www.onlineofficeproducts.net using a Blockley shop password (obtainable from our Manager, Chris.)

Your supplies will be delivered to the shop and you pay at the till. At the end of the month the shop will be invoiced at a discount and the shop will benefit at a rate of about 10 per cent. The van will also collect items like printer cartridges for recycling (the money earned will be paid to local charities).

Mike is also offering a service to local businesses, which would enable Blockley shop to accrue credits to exchange for equipment such as shelving or new chairs. Under this system, the shop would not be involved in deliveries, but each order would be automatically linked to the shop account.
